  1. J D scared the heck out of me riding with him in a mixer when I first started at Coastal But he could handle that old truck. I know his love for driving big rigs because you could hear it in his voice when he talked about them. Good bye friend, I am glad I met you. Prayers for the family

  2. Barbara, Justine, Johnny, and family was so saddened to see we’ve lost another one of our family. J.D. was just too young to go. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

  3. So sorry to hear about JD I remember him as a child around Aunt Doll Gray home behind the Snow Bird playing with her boys! He was so sweet. May his family find peace and comfort in all the precious memories they have of JD for they are gifts from GOD! Love and Prayer’s!

  4. Dear Barbara, Justine & Johnny, We were so sorry to hear about J.D. . I’m praying for God to give you peace and comfort during this sad time. Thank you on my family’s behalf for the hard work you did at the graveyard. It’s beautiful. ❤️

Jack Dempsey Wise, Jr.

October 17, 2023

Jack “J.D.” Dempsey Wise, Jr. died October 17, 2023 in Chesapeake, VA. J.D. had a massive stroke which he couldn’t recover from and passed away in the hospital. He was 66 and was born and raised on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. He is preceded in death by his loving parents Jack D. Wise Sr. and Pearl Lewark Johnson.

J.D. is survived by his daughter, Veronica Lee Moore and her husband Mark Moore, their children, Ajayiah Farrow, Amillion Moore, and Zechariah Dempsey Moore, and grandson RaShaad Haugabook. He is also survived by his son, Jack Wise, III and his children, Leighann Wise Gibbs and Emma Grace Wise; and his sisters, Barbara Wise and Justine Oneal; his brother, John Wise; and many other relatives and friends.

J.D. grew up on the Outer Banks, but he had wanderlust and he loved driving big rig trucks. In his early years he worked for Coy Tillet at Coastal Ready Mix driving the big cement trucks, but he loved the road and traveled all over the country driving 18 Wheelers from coast to coast.

J.D’s directives for cremation will be honored and he will be laid to rest with a private ceremony in the family cemetery in Nags Head Woods. Please leave condolences to the family at gallopfuneralservices.com. Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. was entrusted with arrangements.
